Life at High Ground Farm

Life at High Ground Farm has been authentic and simple, in step with the seasons, and the land, for over 40 years. High Ground embraces the conservation of heritage breeds; land; and architecture. Growing food for the table from the soil, cooking from scratch, and eating at home has been a way of life for too many years to count. Depending on self reliance, sustainability, ingenuity and conservation, before it was the trend. Painting a picture, or writing a story on a summers eve; Visiting with friends sitting under the thick oak canopy, while sipping tea - It is a way of life.

So, come walk with me over the green hills, smell the gentle scent of English roses and Southern gardenias; watch the butterflies drift from zinnia to larkspur; hear the gentle coo of the hens as they scratch for bugs; watch the sweet Angora Goats as they nibble wildflowers in the pasture; enjoy the taste of rich heirloom tomatoes; and Ah Yes, the sight and warmth of a soft Angora Goat muzzle soft in your hand. Step back from the 21st century into the 19th. This is High Ground, a different time, a different way of life.
